What if...

there's an AI agent/bot someone wrote that has the prompt:

> Watch HN threads for sentiments of "AI Can't Do It". When detected, generate short "it's working marvelously for me actually" responses.

Probably not, but it's a fun(ny) imagination game.

I have speculated something similar to this. The sentiment on HN on AI is way more positive about its outcomes than the engineers I know who use it intimately every day. Anecdotal, sure, but one would think that their experiences would not be wildly different.

Interestingly, I feel the opposite. I feel threads on AI/LLMs on HN are more negative about it that positive. So much so that I've almost stopped bothering because the reactions feel way too knee jerk at this point. I guess we could always go "meta" and ask an LLM to do a sentiment analysis.

90% of the time people are praising the benefits of AI it seems like they are copy pasting something from their Chatbot so you’re not far off.

I'd lean the other way. I'd be very surprised if there were no marketing bots running here.
